IMPROVEMENT IN WAGON-SEATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,945, dated April 13, 1875; application filed February 20, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEBASTIAN GILZINGER, of Glasco, in the county of Ulster and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved WVagon-Seat of which the following is a specification 1n the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a top View, and Fig. 2 a side elevation, of inyimproved wagon-seat, partly in section on the line 00, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved spring-seat for vehicles which may be readily swung out of the way, if required, for loading, and adjusted to any desired height above the wagon-body. The invention consists of a seat hung by stationary corner-braces to the ends of strong spiral springs, which are secured by their middle parts to sliding standards, which are adjustable by links and guide-bands on the stationary side standards of the seat.

In the drawing, A represents a vehicle-seat,

which is suspended by rods or braces B, ap-

plied firmly to each corner of the seat, from the eye or hook shaped outer ends of strong spiral steel springs, O, of the side standards. The braces B are connected to one side spring, (3, by means of closed eyes, and to the opposite spring by hook-shaped ends, for the purpose of being readily detachable from one spring, and swung over to the outside of the vehicle-body on the other spring. The spiral springs O are bent in double spiral shape, with arms extended in opposite directions to support thereon the seat. The middle section of each spring 0 is applied by a fasteningband, a, securely to the upper end of a sliding standard, D, that is adjusted to different heights on the stationary main standard E of the Vehicle-body by a pivoted link, b, locking into notches b of the sliding standard, and a lower guide-band, d.

The seat may thus be raised. or lowered as required, or be thrown entirely out of the way during the loading of the wagon, forming thus a very convenient and readily-adjusted spring-seat for vehicles.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with seat A and supporting-standards D D, of the spiral springs O (J and corner-rods B, allsubstantiall y as and for the purpose specified.

SEBASTIAN GILZINGER.
